You're so odd.
The internet in many ways is a social exercise, the ability to tell the world what you think and for the world to tell you what they think.
I cant tell you how many times i've built PC's, fixed televisions, hell I even did my own stitches all because I was able to share information on the web. Getting personal, when I broke up from a longterm relationship I thank God for being able to have an outlet and find all the interesting people out there to share their story. Sure, there's always those idiots that want to make fun of you but trust me, their time will come. If its a family fight who knows, you might find yourself talking to someone who went through almost exactly what you did and found acceptance with it or even resources to help that you didn't consider or know about previously.
That's why the whole thing works so well. You like to see women eating ice cream? There's a pornsite for that. You want to learn about 3D modeling in Maya? Here's a message board to learn the tricks of the trade. You thought about starting a jogging routine? Your pet is sick? or your pet died and you're looking for an emotional release? Or sometimes you just need to know the world is bigger than your life.
But ultimately, its your choice as to what you tell people about and as the saying goes, you get back what you put in to it. If I ran a reverse trace IP finder with a hack to circumvent proxies and went to your neighborhood with a marching band proclaiming your homosexuality would you really be THAT mad? I mean seriously. Why the Big Brother scare? "Oh noez my dad will find out that i'm mad at him"? Come on, sir. You can handle that.
